Raja Koduri talks on Twitter about a VR conference held in his native India, and also notes that they are working very hard on AMD Vega… and AMD Navi.
AMD Vega graphics cards are sticking out their paws, between coming out and not coming out. We do not have specific dates, but they should be very close to reaching the market, but first we will surely see the RX 500 Series. Before all this, we have seen on the Twitter of Raja Koduri, Executive Vice President and Principal Architect of AMD Radeon Technologies Group, talking about some conferences that he would have held these days in his native country, India, where he would have talked about virtual reality and has dropped a very interesting first tweet.
It is interesting not because it is the introduction of a sequence of seventeen tweets, where the second of them is the most interesting. In the second he talks about changing the chip again and "thinking in bits and bytes of Vega, Navi, etc". This clearly means that they are working intensively on both Vega and Navi. It is probably finalizing the launch of Vega, which everything indicates that it would be at the end of April or the beginning of May at the latest.
Something very prominent about the tweets is that he talks about virtual reality, in this case concentrated in India and talks about various projects. The interesting thing about this is that they seem quite focused on virtual reality power and is that Vega aims directly at this market segment, offering good performance in VR, which with the RX 400 Series, the performance is not nearly as good. experience as with NVIDIA. The RX 480s stay a bit tight and when there are fair movements there are significant FPS drops.
It stands out from the tweets that he flew, after passing through San Francisco to San Diego, where he plans to meet with forty graphics engineers, predictably to see the progress and data on the AMD Vega and the launch options of the RX 500 Series. There is not much concrete data, but that the head of the graphics card section talks so much about virtual reality and before he drops Vega and Navi, it means that something is cooking.
2/17 thank a few people before my mind does a huge context switch into bits and bytes of Vega, Navi etc ..
